I looked up the 100 worst schools in America. This came up on the list.


Posted August 31, 2011

This school may have been a great school back in the day, but now it's one of the worst schools I have ever been with. I moved to the district unknowing that the school was on "academic probation". My child, never got an student ID, because the machine had been broken since the being of the year. Never got a locker until school was almost out. Was not put in to the system. My child would go to class and the teachers would ask if they was new, this is after being enrolled for two months. And I never received a report card.I had made a number of calls to the school, with not results. And then the BOE. they were in the same league as the school, no reply. I honestly can't blame one parent that put her child in school in another town. The poor parent was arrested, but who wants a bad education for their child If your child attends Bridgeport schools, they will be left behind.

While this school attempt to be one of the best in Bridgeport it's overall academic performance in no way prepares a child for anything other than High School (somewhere else). There is no challenge of the students nor is there accountability. I have had 1 child graduate #2 in his class and I now have a 2nd child going there.

Bassick High school is a modest school. the place need some patching up to do. The only main fact. is the security around the area.

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT) to test students' skills in reading, writing, science and math in grade 10. The CAPT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Connecticut.
